REGISTRATION: How do I register?

REGISTRATION: The registration is pretty easy. On our Homepage you can find the section sports program. You can choose the appropriate courses there. Before you can book, you first need the sports card. This is, so to speak, the "admission ticket" for the offer of university sports and is valid for the entire semester. Afterwards you can book your courses. There are both free and paid courses. You must register online for both variants. As a general rule: No participation in courses without registration. If there is a course booked out, you have the possibility to register on the waiting list. As soon as places become vacant, you will automatically be informed and you can register again for the course.

SPORTS CARD: What is the sports card?

SPORTS CARD. The sports card is your entry ticket for university sports. Only after purchasing this card you can book our entire sport offer at the indicated conditions. In order to be able to use a course from our offer, you must first book the sports card. The proceeds from the sports card are directly beneficial for the sportsmen and women.

COSTS: What do I have to pay for the courses?

COSTS: In order to be able to use the offer of the university sport for one semester, you first have to buy a sports card. The price depends on your status (student / employee / alumni / external). The current prices for the sports card can be found on our homepage in the section "sports program". Once you have purchased your sports card, you can book the courses of your choice. Some courses are free of charge, so you just have to register for the course. You will find the prices for the chargeable courses on our homepage in the booking table of the corresponding course.

WAITING LIST: What happens if a course is booked out and how does the waiting list work?

WAITING LIST: Once a course is booked out, (temporarily) no more bookings are possible for the course. However, you have the option to enter the waiting list, which appears at the place where you usually could book the course. If you enter here, you will be informed when places become vacant again. Tip: At the start of the semester, not all places will be enabled until the end of the trial week, so that everyone can register for the course even after the trial week. If, therefore, a course is booked out at the beginning of the booking start, there is definitely a second chance after the trial week.

TRIAL WEEK: Is it possible to try out courses before I book a course?

TRIAL WEEK: The first week of the two semester program periods is basically a trial week to check your desired courses without obligation. In this trial week you can go to (almost) all courses, without having to register before. Excluded from this are the sports, in which for the sake of insurance and / or organizational reasons a testing can not be allowed. If a testing is not possible, you will find a note in the course description on our homepage. After the trial week, no more testing is possible. If a course does not start in the first week of the program, the course can not be tested. In the two program periods of the lecture-free period (holiday program) there is no trial week.
For all courses where testing was allowed, on Monday after the trial week, 20% of the available course places will be unlocked. So you have the possibility to register for your course even after the trial week.

DURATION OF THE PROGRAM: What is the duration of the program? When starts the next one?

DURATION OF THE PROGRAM: Our sports program is semester-related. There is also a program for the winter as well as the summer semester. In the respective holiday periods the university sport offers you a sports program, from which you can choose your courses for the lecture-free time. Which program is currently up to date and when you can register for the future, you will find on our homepage.

CARD LOSS: I have lost my registration confirmation. What do I have to do now?

CARD LOSS. If you have lost your registration confirmation / participation ticket, that is no problem. Just come to the university sports service office or send us an email. We print out a new one, or send your registration as a pdf document. Tip: Save your next registration confirmation simply on your computer or your mobile phone, so you always have access to your confirmation.

SERVICE OFFICE: Where can I find you?

SERVICE OFFICE: If you would like to speak to us personally, you can find us on the campus of the Ruhr-University in the Student Service Center (SSC), 1st floor, in Room 215. Our service times can be found on our homepage. In urgent cases, of course, you can also pass us outside the service hours.

E-MAIL: Why should I indicate my e-mail adress?

E-MAIL: Only with your e-mail address we can inform you about vacancies, course cancellations, deadlines, etc. The address will not be contracted out or used for other advertising purposes outside the university sport.

REGISTARTION REQUIREMENT: Why do I have to register for free of charge courses?

REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT: To ensure a high quality sports program, we limit all courses with a maximum attendance. In order to ensure that there are no more participants than maximum places are available, a registration is necessary. In addition, we have the opportunity to react on demand and expand strongly demanded courses. (See question on WAITING LIST)

EXTERNAL: Who or what is an external?

EXTERNAL: The offer of the university sports is used not only by students and staff, but also (subordinately) by non-university members. In order to ensure that external users do not take away any course places for students or employees, external members can only register later and have to pay a higher contribution.

TRAINER: How do I become a trainer?

TRAINER: If you have a official training license or a specific qualification in your sport and would like to represent your sport as a trainer in the university sport, then simply look at our homepage under the section jobs. Here you will find the sports we are currently looking for. If your sport is not there, just send us your documents, we will then check if we can offer your sport in our sports program.

PARTICIPATION AUTHORIZATION: Who is able to participate in the university sport courses?

PARTICIPATION AUTHORIZATION: In principle, all university members are entitled to participate. However, above all the university sport is mainly responsible for students and employees of the RUB and cooperating universities. Non-university students (external) can only take part in courses when there are remaining places. To ensure this, external users can only registrate at a later point in time.
